The Northwest contains stunning destinations, such as the Lake District, Manchester, Liverpool and Chester, however, to retain a competitive edge to attract visitors, the region must continually improve and provide excellent experiences.

The Northwest Regional Development Agency and key partners are working together to support and encourage major capital projects that will transform the region’s appeal to international and national visitors.

Current regional signature projects include:

• The Renaissance of the Lake District

• Chester Super Zoo

• Blackpool’s revival

• Hadrian’s Wall

• Mersey Waterfront

Sub Regional signature projects of which there are only a few, which have national and regional significance should be identified in the Destination Management Plans.
